How to Lower High Armholes – Option 3
Follow these steps if your draglines seem excessive and especially if they point towards the high point shoulder (HPS).
Steps to Correct High Armholes
- Pin the low point shoulder (LPS) area by smoothing out the excess draglines as much as possible.
- If it looks better after you’ve pinned the LPS area, proceed with this correction.
- Measure the amount you’ve pinned at the LPS and lower that amount on both the front and back shoulder slopes. Then, draw your new shoulder slope.
- Measure that same amount on the sleeve and slash it closed to fit the new armhole.
- Pin the amount of dragline that’s left in the underarm area. Follow the previous options for lowering the armhole if needed.
Note: This is a super common issue in menswear, as many men have very sloped shoulders. People with more angled shoulders tend to experience high armholes.
